“Barça” explained its principles to the Portuguese
Today, Thursday, the Catalan press highlighted the approach of Portuguese star Bernardo Silva to move to Real Madrid within the framework of the upcoming summer Mercato.
As “Sport” newspaper informs, the arrival of “Real” Madrid has drastically changed the situation around the former star of “Manchester City”. Atletico Madrid have been working hard to convince Silva (31 years old) for many months, considering him the ideal replacement for Antoine Griezmann, who left the Rojiblancos at the end of last season.

“In fact, Bernardo’s name was on Deco’s (Barça’s sporting director) table during the planning for next season, as the Portuguese is an attractive market opportunity due to his quality, experience and knowledge of the Spanish league. But the deal began to lose momentum within weeks.
“The high financial demands of the footballer, the ambiguous statements about his future and the need to provide the Catalan club with a financial margin led to Barcelona freezing the negotiations in recent days.
“The deciding factor is likely to be the official arrival of Jose Mourinho to manage Real Madrid, as the Portuguese coach sees Bernardo Silva as the ideal fit to strengthen the midfield and provide him with leadership, competitive experience and tactical flexibility.”
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Bernardo has suspended talks with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in recent days while he examines an offer from Real Madrid until the two sides agree on a two-season contract with the option of a further extension.
